Aronson management could desire In all of these
particulars the rendition of "Erninie" ut Al

nal article still exhibition at the gorgeous little
mosque at the corner of broadway and For
tieth street, from the facsimile of Mr.. Hoyt's
beautiful shrimp pink, palatnl interior, in the
ond act, to funny little Fred Solomon, who almost
cifHces the mirthful memory of Francis Wilson In
the role Of Cddcdur. The funnaking of the piece
indeed, rests largely upon the diminutive shoul-
ders of this cxhaustinply comic little gentleman.
but he Is more thnn equal to the emergency.
There is absolutely no limit to his magazine Of

scenes, between these two amusing scoundrcs
were most cxcccntly done Miss Bertha Rcci In
the title role sang capably, 0s usual, but us usual
with touch Of indifference which detr racts neces.
sarily from the enjoyment of her efforts. Miss
Addic Cora Reed in the first act introduced the fa
miliar "Nightingales Trll" with such evidence of
vocal skill and culture ns to richly deserve her
rinly-nsisted-upon recall. Miss Georgic Den
min made mn extremely pretty If somewhat too
placid JdrOtte, and sang her little song ms the
central figure of the beautiful second uct very
nicely. In the same scene the agreeable tenor Of
Mr. Applcby, who is always pleasantly remem.
bCrcd In Washington, was heard to good adyan-
tage In his only solo OF the evening. The chorus
WAS perhaps tritic strong on the female side,
but when, as in the present cisc, the majority
happens to be young and pretty this IL n fault
which can every readily condoned. The "Dcky

The Philadelphia Butchery.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE story
Of the murder of the colored man, Wake
field Gains, for which crime Mary Hannah
Tabs and George Ii. Wilson are now await
ing trial, was revived to-day by the dis
coyery of two packages of putrefying flesh
in the cellar of all unOccupied dwelling in
the lower section of the city, and which
may lead to the recovery of the head and
limbs of the murdered man. The house in
which the flesh was found was formerly oc-
cupied by colored family with whom the
prisoner, Mrs. Tabs was quite intimate.
They had occupied the place for year. and
on the day succeeding that on which the
confession of the prisoner. Wilson. was
published the house was suddenly vacated,
but where the family went has not been
discovered. The coroner was notified
and the CHASTITY find was examined. Each
package was found to contain what is be-
lieved to be human flesh, bearing the an
pearance of having been cut and hacked
from the body. In the bundle was found
small section of human trachea. The bags
in which the flesh was wrapped are similar
to those described by Wilson in his story of
the removal Of the limbs and head from
the house where the murder was COM
nttted and the cord with which they were
tied. which is deeply dyed with blood
stains is also similar to that with which the
paper was bound around the limbless and
headless trunk when it was found beside
the pond III Bucks county.

THE JUBILEE YACHT RACE.
1t will Re for 1000 Guineas, and
will Begin on Tune Il.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Prince of
Wales presided to-day at the annual meet
ing of the Royal Thames Yacht club. The
secretary of the club announced that the
money for the 1000 guineas jubilee prize
had already been subscribed in full by
ninety members of the club, and that
plenty Of other funds were coming in to
make up the several prizes which the club
desired to offer for additional races during
the jubilee. The 14th of June has been
fixed as the date for starting the 1000
guneas race and the course laid out from
the northward up the east coast of
England around Scotland and Ireland to
Dover. The complaint made by an Amer
lean newspaper that the course includes
narrow channels is unfOunded, the only
one in the course being the English chan
mel, which surely is wide enough for all the
purposes of the race. The commanders of
yachts in the race will be permitted to
choose any course they please. so long as
they keep the main land on their portside.
The full text of the conditions of the great
race will be issued within fortnight. The
conditions will include time allowance ac-
cording to tonnage on sliding scale. The
Prince of Wales cordially approved the
plan of the race and expressed delight at
being permitted to cooperate in the jubilee.
He promised to act as starter of the race,
and to enter his own schooner as a com
petitor. The meeting was Il very enthusi-
astic one and was attended by the leading
yatchtSmen OF Great Britain,
